A day for failed, and some successful bucket list NYC happenings!

Today was beyond wet in New York. When your flats, hair, purse, arms, ears, whole body is immersed in water one can say that you had a New York shower... and then you run and have a real one.

After a day of trying to go to the Whitney Museum of American art (fail), H&M (success), and Red Rooster in Harlem (success). I say that today, and my outfit, were successful!

Score one for patterns!

Difficulties

I broke out my blue and purple shift today to celebrate the warm weather.  But I realized its actually harder to wear then I realized.  Although the shape of the dress is very simple, it has a lot going on with the pattern and the solar.  So I paired it with my trusty oatmeal cardigan and added a belt.  I also went with my gold flats today since this dress is a little short for heels.  I love this dress and don't regret buying it for a minute, but its not that easy to wear!

Something New

 The weather has turned cold again which was a perfect opportunity to wear my new dress from Target.      Because of how short the dress is I didn't want to wear it to work without tights.  Because the dress has a lot going on I paired it with brown tights and my trusty oatmeal cardigan.  To finish off my outfit I wore my floral flats.

 One of my friends at work got so excited about this dress she tried to buy one for herself, but sadly they were sold out of her petite size!
